‘The Last Jedi’ creative process, much like the movie itself, meant ditching old ideas

SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi yet, turn back now or risk spoiling yourself on some big surprises.

Love it or hate it, Star Wars: The Last Jedi feels distinctly like the work of its auteur filmmaker, Rian Johnson.

In one of the movie’s last and most stirring shots, a dying Luke Skywalker gazes out at the twin sunset on Ahch-To. The visual, coupled with a familiar John Williams melody playing behind it, tugs us back to that defining moment from the Original Trilogy when a much younger Luke watched Tatooine’s twin suns set.
